Merrill Creek Res. 5/19:
 
2 Attachment(s)
On anchor in 50 ft. of water by 7am. Dish rags are small lake trout, beach towels are big lake trout.

Got 6 dish rags today and 3 brown trout and 1 yellow perch. The one brown was a stocked broodstock around 5lbs. I think, it had a big jaw tag in it which I dropped over the side when I was releasing the trout.

Pushed 10 dozen saw bellies on 5 rods using small hooks and 4 and 6lb. test.
I guess it's time to retire the Damn Quick 110N, lost part of the handle.

Saw a guy at the ramp, he had an 8lb. beach towel.

Andy, don't understand why so much bait? Are you using strike guards? Or fishing with open bails? Nice fish though.

Open bail. Why so much bait ?? A. I HATE running out of bait. B. I change bait so often it'll make your head spin, plus I chum. If the herring is missing scales or is swimming funny I change 'em out. Ya gotta trick those big browns, they are VERY smart !!
